Nashville's Weather Today

It's going to be a cloudy day today with a slight chance of rain. But it is starting to get a little warmer Nashville!

Wildhorses Couldn’t Drag You Away From This Fun

Line dancing, live music, fun events, and fantastic eats.. If that sounds like a legendary Music City experience—it’s because it is. I’m describing the famous Wildhorse Saloon.

Right on 2nd Avenue North, the Wildhorse boasts having Nashville’s largest dance floor. And it needs it! Because people from all over come to boot scootin’ boogie. Get this—they offer free line dancing lessons throughout the afternoon and evening on Wednesdays through Saturdays. (Here’s the lesson schedule for you.) Learn the steps, and then live it up! Dancing is always encouraged, even when live bands are performing.

Which is what’s up next on my reasons to love the Wildhorse: the music! Free talent performs live. All the time! And the word “talent” is for real here. Incredible up-and-coming bands and singer/songwriters grace the stage on the regular. Here’s that schedule for you! They’ve also got various ticketed shows throughout the year. There’s never a dull moment.

You’re going to work up an appetite, and the Wildhorse menu is ready for just that. With starters like a Nashville hot chicken dip and fried pickles, three salad options, handhelds like a pork sandwich, pimento mac and cheese (with chopped pork in there too!), and the Wild Stallion Bacon Burger . . .you really can’t go wrong.

And if you’re a big whiskey fan, there’s an entire portion of the menu inspired by—and cooked with—that iconic Tennessee brand: Jack Daniels. From grilled chicken to shrimp and grits to ribs . . . is there anything Wildhorse can’t glaze in whiskey? “Well, probably their dessert,” one might guess. But even there they’re ready to surprise and delight with the Jack Daniels Single Barrel Whiskey Glazed Bananas Foster. And don’t worry about the sugar. You’ll work it off on that dance floor!

What’s to drink? Glad you asked. Enjoy a beer, including local drafts. Order a cocktail, like the Pink Pony with Ole Smoky Moonshine Hunch Punch Lightnin’, grenadine, fresh lime juice, a splash of Sierra Mist, and Ole Smoky Moonshine Cherries. Sip some wine (by the glass or bottle). Or try a flight of Ole Smoky Moonshine or Ole Smoky Whiskey.

It honestly feels like you haven’t truly been to Music City without the very things the Wildhorse Saloon has to offer. So get on your dancing boots and strut your stuff over there.

Wildhorse also has a shuffleboard, a foosball table, and a couple pool tables. One of my favorite things to do is play shuffleboard and pool with my girlfriend so we have been here a few times just to play shuffleboard!

Hey, if you’ve already been to this spot, what did you think? Send me your thoughts! I’d love to hear.

A Cut Above the Rest

So you’ve been to some steakhouses in your time. But have you been to Morton’s Steakhouse on Church Street? If you answered “no,” then you need to get there. If you answered “yes,” you should go back. They’re serving up a special kind of swanky atmosphere and offering new featured menu items on the regular.

The vibe you’ll get at Morton’s is classic meets contemporary—from the ambiance to the mouth-watering taste of every food and drink you’ll order. Morton’s brings life to the words “upscale” and “tasteful.” And take note: they’ve got a business attire or smart casual dress code, so dress to impress.

Here’s a peek into the menu. You know it’s going to be good when the appetizers list starts out with “Maine Lobster Ravioli,” and the menu doesn’t drop off after that. There’s bacon-wrapped sea scallops, prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella, crab cake, oysters, and lobster bisque too.

Then, the sumptuous steaks. You’ve got all the standard cuts, and then you pick your butter or sauce: Cognac Sauce Au Poivre, Béarnaise Sauce, and Black Truffle Butter are three options. But the special personalization doesn’t stop there. Add an “enhancement” to your meal like the “Oscar Style” Crab, Cold Water Lobster Tail, or Jumbo Grilled Shrimp.

And then there are the sides. These alone are worth the trip, but you shouldn’t skip out on the steak at a steakhouse, of course. There’s Sautéed Brussels Sprouts, Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes, Lobster Macaroni and Cheese, and Baked Corn Soufflé, to name a few.

If you left room for dessert, Morton’s has nine options, including one of my very favorite treats, a Crème Brûlée.

If that wasn’t enough, they’ve got a packed dessert cocktail menu (with an Espressotini and Irish Coffee) and signature cocktails as well (including the Black Cherry Cobbler and Blackberry Mojito). And their wine list is impressive, to say the least.

Let’s be honest: everything about Morton’s is impressive. It’s a true fine dining experience, from the succulent tastes to the posh surroundings to the details of decadence you’ll get all throughout your visit. If you want a steakhouse that’s a cut above—you’ve got to try Morton’s.
